After saying this, Jiang Mianmian and Lu Ran both fell silent.

The name "Sister Hong" easily brings them back to their time on the ship. They thought they had almost forgotten, but the cramped cabin, the girls covered in scars, the menacing eyes of the people... all replayed in their minds like a movie.

That experience was a shadow, but also an unforgettable memory.

"Perhaps," Jiang Mianmian said softly. "Perhaps she really is someone related to Sister Hong... Even if she saved our lives, she also broke the law. Right now, we can't tell whether Nian Nian is friend or foe, so we must be careful."

Lu Ran nodded in agreement.

"Sis, if you really want to figure this out, why don't you go to that bar a few more times?"

"It's best to stay away from such troublesome places!" Huo Junyang hurriedly interrupted her.

Lu Ran smiled at him and said nothing more.

They chatted for a while longer before heading home.

He Sirui was very quiet during those days. She used to call him "bro" all the time, but now she didn't even dare to send Huo Junyu a single message.

While playing the game, Huo Junyang noticed that He Sirui's profile picture was always in an offline state.

"Hehe, I must say, Little Yuzu is really fierce!" he exclaimed as he played. "When Little Yuzu makes a move, Sirui doesn't even dare to play games!"

"Brother, you'd better watch out in the future. If you anger Xiaoyouzi, she'll bring a whole gang to wipe you out!"

"Don't drag me into your arguments in the future!"

As he spoke, a cushion was thrown at him, hitting him on the head.

"You talk too much!"

Huo Junyu was getting ready to go to the company and was just putting on his tie in front of the mirror. The navy blue suit he was wearing today was one that Jiang Mianmian had chosen for him during their video call last night.

Huo Junyu looked himself up and down, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was missing...

"Yangyang, do you think I'm missing a belt?"

Huo Junyang had just taken a sip of milk when he almost spat it out.

"Hahahaha... You also want a belt that costs three thousand yuan?"

In fact, Huo Junyu had quite a few belts.

Jiang Can usually buy things for her two sons herself. Their mother never hesitated to spend money on them; a belt costing tens of thousands of yuan was considered cheap.

However, Huo Junyu felt that none of the belts matched the feeling in his heart.

"Of course!" Huo Junyang laughed heartily. "That's the difference between a wife and a mother! Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell Mom that you don't like the belt she gave you..."

"Hmm!"

Before Huo Junyang could finish speaking, his older brother grabbed him from behind, choked him, and covered his mouth, forcefully suppressing him.

The two brothers argued for a while, and the battle ended with the younger brother's defeat.

Although Huo Junyang was unconvinced, he was still worried about his brother: "Seriously, nothing else matters right now, but what if Sirui says something to Grandma, then Mianmian..."

"What does it have to do with anything?" Huo Junyu raised his eyebrows. "That's our grandmother, not hers."

“But the He family and the Fu family are old friends,” Huo Junyang said softly. “Grandma might be concerned about the He family’s reputation.”

"Face is for those who care about their reputation," Huo Junyu said with a wicked grin. "Although the Queen of Hell is getting on in years, her mind is still very sharp, so don't worry!"

Huo Junyang thought for a moment and then smiled.

Fu Xiuyu has always been clear about right and wrong, and she doesn't care who the malicious person is, she will still confront them without hesitation.

But when it comes to someone they like, they will protect them at all costs.

Therefore, He Sirui's few words would not sway her grandmother.

Besides, He Sirui might have known about her grandmother's temperament all along, so she simply didn't say anything.

"The Lu's Film City is opening in a couple of days," Huo Junyang asked again, "Is everything alright with Xiaoyouzi?"

"I already reviewed the proposal for her, and there were no problems. I also instructed my subordinates to handle the minor details long ago."

"Ranran has had a tough time lately," Huo Junyang muttered. "After the opening ceremony, I'm going to take her on a proper vacation!"

Huo Junyu pursed his lips, chuckled twice, and went out.

Ranran did work very hard, but Mianmian from her family did everything herself, big or small, perfectly demonstrating the ability and qualities a group heir should have in this project, which was even more arduous.

So after the opening ceremony, he also has to take Mianmian on vacation and go further than Huo Junyang and the others!

Thinking about it, Huo Junyu smiled, feeling even better than the weather. He didn't even need a driver and drove off at high speed.

A week later, Lu's Film City opened, dominating the top of the trending search list for an entire week.

With the combined appeal of Qingshan Entertainment and the full support of Huoshi Yufeng Media, the opening day of the film city was a star-studded affair, a scene of unparalleled elegance and glamour.

Domestic and international journalists, fearing they might miss this opportunity, waited outside early, and there was much discussion among them:

"I heard that not only are there big stars, but people from the four major families of Yangcheng are also here, and even people from the Fu Group are here to show their support!"

"These families are all related by marriage, how could they not come? Heh... The Lu family is really powerful. It seems that the rumors about Brother Shan having connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds are not unfounded!"

"Isn't that the eldest son of the Huo family? He's also said to be a minor nobleman from Southeast Asia..."

"That's the young master's daughter, Lu. She's so beautiful! The two of them walking together are more eye-catching than any movie star!"

"I think the second young master of the Huo family is more handsome. He's sunny and dashing, and he's exactly my type!"

"Alright, alright, stop talking!" one of the older reporters laughed. "There's a press area at this banquet too. Take a few photos and then go eat! President Lu said we should treat every guest well!"
